got a reply today -

The next stage is for you to attend a face-to-face discussion at a Registration Event. Please read all of this e-mail carefully as it gives you vital instructions to support you at the event.

The Registration Event you are being invited to is for Waiting List only. Please be aware there is a high liklihood if placed on a Waiting List that you will be asked to work.

Anyone know how long it normally takes to hear back once your application status goes to "Security Checks Passed"? I'm not sure how long it's been since the status changed to that, but it's been 18 days since I went to the registration event.

Last year mine took around 2 - 3 weeks after the registration event.

On another note,

My application's changed from "PROCESSING SECURITY CHECKS" to "AWAITING FURTHER INFORMATION".. Anyone had this before?

[jager]

I had my Interview at Plymouth MDEC three weeks ago now, my status is currently "Submitted"

No idea what that means! Was expecting to of heard back from them by now really!!

[shane_5121]

I applied early Sept and still states 'Application received' A friend of mine who done casual 2 years ago got an email this evening for registration process later this week...Fingers crossed, could really do with the work this year!

Good Afternoon Fergus



Thank you for your e-mail; please communicate with the Christmas_helpline@royalmail.com address should you have any further queries.



I have checked your application & it is still in the process of waiting to be selected for a registration event. This is done on a random basis. There is no guarantee that this will happen or by any set date, other than if you have not heard from us by 25th October 2013, your application has been unsuccessful for 2013.

I attended a registration event last week, yet my application still says "interview booked" should I give them a ring?

[The Cat]

"Hired and start date agreed". Which, as an old Angard hand, I know doesn't actually mean hired, or start date agreed, but means I probably will get offered a job in November. Anyone else? Anyone coming for the fun and games at Stoke MDEC?
